My branding iron arrived! I'm so excited! A little while ago I mentioned trying to locate a hot stamp machine, but in reality a branding iron was a better choice for my needs. At first I was a little scared to use it because I can be a klutz, but after a while I got the hang of it.

Over time I've had trouble sticking with one font that works online, in person, and on bags & pouches. I know it's good to be consistent, but I'm bad at that because I like too many things. For the iron, I wanted something sleek and clean. I remembered a font Yoshie made a few years ago and decided it would be perfect for the job. It's fun to give things that personal touch! It's like knowing the farmer who grows your vegetables or the spinner who spins your wool, and in this case, the font maker who makes the font.
